Black Roses

Well I met her down
In a love struck town
I was just about dead
From bein' turned around
And she took my hand
She made me understand
That I didn’t have to try
To show her I’m a man
Oh, everywhere, everywhere black roses
Comin' down, oh, comin' down around me
In the rain
Oh, baby come on
She wore burnin' red
Slept on a golden bed
And she drank my wine
And she soothed my achin' head
Oh, everywhere, everywhere black roses
Comin' down, oh, comin' down around me
In the rain
Oh, everywhere, everywhere black roses
Comin' down, oh, comin' down around me
In the rain
I was dressed in black
Hung at a road house shack
And when we left that day
We knew we were never comin' back
I gave you black roses for the very last time
And as we looked out upon the grand highway
The sky began to cry
Oh, everywhere, everywhere black roses
Comin' down, oh, comin' down around me
In the rain
Oh, everywhere, everywhere black roses
Comin' down, oh, comin' down around me
In the rain
Oh, everywhere, everywhere black roses
Comin' down, oh, comin' down around me
In the rain
